This situation is just a ticking time bomb. Nobody wants to imagine how this ends but look 2, 5, 10, years into the future. It’s inevitable these two countries are going to have a major war at some point. Possibly both having nuclear weapons. It’s not possible to disarm Iran because they are hellbent on “wiping Israel off the map”. Israel should be worried. The US | Read More »

“There are three types of people in this world: sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. Some people prefer to believe that evil doesn’t exist in the world, and if it ever darkened their doorstep, they wouldn’t know how to protect themselves. Those are the sheep. Then you’ve got predators, who use violence to prey on the weak. They’re the wolves. And then there are those blessed with | Read More »

Republicans have seen how Democrats intend to act as the minority party in the Senate, continually blocking bills to thwart the majority. It is time for to change the Senate rules, just like did last year for the Democrats when he was in charge, to immediately suspend the filibuster rules. In fact, McConnell should go beyond Reid’s rule, which Reid limited to judicial nominations and | Read More »

This is as self-indulgent and blatantly ego-stroking as I get. I read Erick Erickson’s RedState piece, “The Fundamental Problem with a Jeb Bush Presidency (and a Hillary Clinton one).” Beyond the obvious fundamental problems either of these Shakespearean-tragically flawed characters would bring to the White House*, Erick defaults to his law training: “We are, in short, becoming a nation of men, not a nation of | Read More »

The Heritage Foundation’s Daily Signal has provided a YouTube video that will broadcast Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s historic address to a joint session of Congress this morning. Thought I would put it up for those who want to watch and comment. Be blessed, Bibi.

Rush Orders: I’ve listened to Rush Limbaugh for over 22 years, at 36 I’m a Rush baby. El Rushbo has influenced my thinking greatly; he got to me before I was corrupted by any public school system or college professor. And over that time I’ve struggled with a major theme in his show: What is the Glory of the American Enterprise? Rush Limbaugh is constantly | Read More »

Much ado about Israeli Prime Minster Benjamin “Bebe” Netanyahu’s speech to a joint session of Congress today, on the invitation of the Speaker of the House and over the objections of President Barack Obama. Increasingly the support of Israel seems to have become a partisan issue or, put more accurately, a defense against the terrorists who threaten Jews, Christians, Americans, Westerners but most of all, | Read More »

The rise of ISIS has focused attention on a death cult within Islam. The almost daily reports of the atrocities they commit in the name of Allah, Mohammed, or the Koran are sickening. If you are brave enough, you brought yourself to watch the 22-minute, slickly-produced video of a captured Jordanian pilot being burnt alive. I profess that I cannot bring myself to watching these | Read More »

I have a fantasy picture in my head of that ‘dude’ at the Washington GOP office (or their highly paid PR firm) pausing periodically between sexts to his array of ‘dolls’ to check for the Twitter tech support staff’s reply to his email asking how he can delete others’ Tweets. When it arrives, he will learn that he can’t delete those Tweets. Darn. Twitter isn’t | Read More »

As Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares for his speech before the US Congress on Tuesday morning, Obama’s negotiations with Iran continue down a potential course of no return, for the United States and the world. No, this is not hyperbole. What immediately comes to mind is the response of the Administration and its acolytes ratcheting up of their efforts to an all-time high “Diss” | Read More »

The U.S. is the number one global exporter of refined petroleum products. Saudi Arabia aims to capture some of that market share to become number two. We know that, when to its advantage, the kingdom thinks nothing of hurting its ally—but not friend—the United States.

So many posts recently – how McConnell and Boehner are doing whatever the Obama wants & screwing all of us again! Give me a break! I am sick & tired of this whining because conservatives had a chance to do something about it individually as a person but did not do it! Yes, everyone one of us (conservatives) had the power – but most of us did | Read More »

During Friday nights round of voting to keep 30,000 non-essential Department of Homeland Security employees from being sent home(with back pay) Illinois Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger continued to display his support for President Obama’s unconstitutional executive amnesty, which is at the heart of the DHS funding fight. After a vote to keep DHS funded for a 3 week time frame while the House and Senate | Read More »

If you haven’t already read my post Tomorrow’s Post Today…Because It’s Time to Panic please do so, as it contains important information that you need to disseminate to everyone you know or can otherwise reach. Doug Ross is all over it, and you should be too. Everyone needs to hammer their duly elected representatives with cries of genuine outrage and threats of withholding funds and | Read More »

This is tomorrows post, today. Why? Because now it’s time to panic; we can’t wait for Rush to let us know. So troops, get your Breitbart on NOW! Our government is plotting against us, its own citizens. They are doing so covertly, stealthily,and fraudulently. We begin with a summary from The Independent Sentinel, which is based on Mark Levin’s interview (below) with Susan Payne, from | Read More »

On Thursday the FCC moved to regulate the Internet via what’s commonly called Net Neutrality – although like Obamacare before it was passed, we don’t know everything that’s included in it! Net Neutrality is beyond a doubt the single most despicable thing Barack Obama has done as president. (The FCC is ostensibly an independent agency, but under Obama it’s been anything but.) The big push | Read More »

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear argument in the case of King vs. Burwell. This is the so-called Obamacare subsidy case and whether those tax subsidies should be extended to those taxpayers who purchased insurance on the Federal exchange known as Healthcare.gov. As I mentioned in the previous article, this is not a case of the constitutionality of the law, but one of statutory interpretation- | Read More »

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech this coming Tuesday to a joint session of Congress will be seen by tens of millions around the world. The image of Bibi at the podium, with the Speaker of the House, and the Vice President, as the presiding officer of the Senate, seated behind him, will dominate the media. Except…..not. Because Biden won’t be there. He’ll be in | Read More »

A gentle reminder of the knee-capping of conservatives by the Bush administration in 1988-1992 comes from an account of how and why supposedly conservative administrations nominated liberals to the Supreme Court. This quote just jumped out at me: The Bush Administration was already in hot water with Reaganite Republicans because Bush had fired 90% of the Reagan political appointees in the executive branch to replace | Read More »

Many Christians struggle with the admonishment to “judge not” while at the same time maintaining a set of moral rules for the good of society. This fear of judging has led to an ever-increasing permissiveness which is largely to blame for the ongoing moral decline of our culture. There are several distinctions that need to be made when balancing judgment against moral rules. The first | Read More »

Michael Gerson is a nationally syndicated opinion writer and the official / unofficial spokesman for the GOP Establishment. In his most recent column in the Washington Post (dated February 26), Gerson and the GOP Establishment take Scott Walker and anyone who questions the faith of Mr. Obama to the woodshed. In fact, according to Mr. Gerson, the mere failure of Governor Walker to enthusiastically endorse | Read More »

Anna Marie Cox posed a useful question when she compared her faith to President Obama’s, who has been roundly criticized by conservatives such as my friend Erick Erickson, who wrote that Barack Obama is not a Christian in any meaningful way. Cox asked “if Obama’s not Christian, what does that make me?” She announced her Christian faith to the world by writing “My understanding of Christianity is | Read More »

“America has finally awoken to your Saul Alinsky bull**** tactics, and we’re coming to get you.” Andrew Brietbart, 2012 CPAC Three years after his death, and we’re still missing Breitbart. Why? Many reasons: because he was so good at exposing lies, half-truths and obfuscation, because nobody has stepped in to fill the void. Butt mostly because he was such a symbol of what we inherently | Read More »

Back when the Supreme Court decided NFIB vs. Sebelius- the celebrated Obamacare case- I distinctly remember watching the news that June morning. Every broadcast was anticipating the decision since it was the last day of the term. Every station was there and they all broke into their regular scheduled programming to bring the news. They all erroneously initially reported that the law had been struck down | Read More »

About two months ago, the GOP took over both the House of Representatives and the Senate. After they finished patting themselves on the back at the rout they delivered to the Democrats, both houses re-elected their leaders, Congressman Boehner and . There was some minor resistance to them being re-elected, but it was token resistance at best. Those of us that live out side the | Read More »

Surely there’s some significance in the fact that Leonard Nimoy’s death intersected precisely with the death of the Internet as we know it. And even if not, it might serve as a good opportunity to review another timeless intergalactic morality play about an Emperor who ruled the universe by fiat. Spoiler Alert: that one didn’t end well, for the Emperor. Death Star, proceeding according to | Read More »

Yesterday it was reported that the Treasury Department paid $3 billion to cover Obamacare cost-sharing subsidies without Congressional approval. The heart of the dispute appears to be whether or not these subsidies were supposed to be funded via yearly appropriations or not. The House Ways and Means Chair, , argues the former. Health and Human Services, via the Department of Justice, argues the latter. In | Read More »

Jeb Bush’s campaign is calling Dick Tuck to see if he’s behind the debacle he suffered at CPAC 2015. Gateway Pundit confirmed that Jeb bussed in supporters so it wouldn’t look like everyone in the room hated him (or worse, left). But it didn’t matter, because they booed him anyway. And they left. And Slate got hold of the emails from Fritz Brogan telling his | Read More »

We need politics to become a part-time job. Career politicians are destroying this country. The more time people spend in Washington the more detached they become from the rest of the country. They live in a world where they are wined and dined and promised lucrative jobs should they ever get tired of their power trip (or have it cut short by voters who have | Read More »

The federal Bureau of Prisons, Democrat congresswoman , and Sen. “Little” Dick Durbin have formally announced that the CRomnibus spending bill passed last December contained $58.7 million to get Thomson prison in Thomson, IL open. The Prisons warden and the Bureau of Prisons say the first 200 minimum security inmates will be incarcerated at the prison in the next two to three months. As I | Read More »

In the last year the Obama Administration has implemented policies and legislation that will slowly dismantle all federal programs for small businesses. In his 2016 budget he announced his plan that will permanently close the Small Business Administration by combining it with the Department of Commerce. I predicted Obama would close the SBA by combining it with the Department of Commerce in 2008 after working | Read More »

Competition is GOOD. Period. Government regulation stifles competition. Period. Ergo most government regulation is NOT GOOD. This is especially true on something like the internet, that is a major mechanism of free speech today, both by individuals and by formal media (whether “mainstream” or not). Note, this administration is and has always been about CONTROLLING and TAXING the net, not trying to do anything else that | Read More »

To Jeb Bush, It is one thing to actually be a one-percenter, be born choking on a diamond encrusted, gold plated, spoon. But those alone do not make you President. It is comforting for you to know that when you were born, your life was all planned out; the right schools, the right friends, the right jobs, the right cars, boats, vacation homes, but they do not | Read More »

Ok, so I’ve had a lot of debate and talk over a particular topic; can you choose who you love? This argument is used tremendously by the homosexual community to make a stand for gay marriage. Let’s take this idea and remove the concept of homosexuality from the equation. We can do this because of the claim that “love is love and all love is equal”. | Read More »

Democrats favor Hillary Clinton for President simply because she’s female? Ignored is her shallow record as U.S. Senator, lack of genuine accomplishments and serious failures while Secretary of State? They forget she assigned Americans to Benghazi then denied military support to save their lives. They overlook her disrespect for all women when she attempted to minimize her husband’s sexual attacks on women inside | Read More »

The main lesson we learn from History is that we don’t learn from History. The lack of historical perspective is, I believe, one of the major contributing factors in America’s current state. People don’t realize that all of these novel fixes our collectivist leaders are shoving down our throats with regard to health care have been tried multiple times before. Or that they have failed | Read More »

Time to build a new Conservative party from ashes of GOP. That party is done. Only concerned with keeping their jobs, whether in majority or not. And sell-outs starting with Lillie Graham will not be allowed to join.

I’ve been perplexed for six years as to why Hillary-the-Inevitable has already been deemed our next president. Likewise, I didn’t understand the Dems insistence on continually pumping up the deflated War on Women balloon and attempting to send it aloft again…and again when it clearly hasn’t been ready for prime time since the ‘80’s. Mylar; perfect. Then, as I was reading Daniel Henninger’s column, Captain | Read More »

Here it is: When our great grandchildren are dealing with the effects of climate change, they will look at this and hate us: http://t.co/YBv5vM8Kzu — Ezra Klein (@ezraklein) February 27, 2015 This is Vox’s piece by Brad Plumer depicting Senator James Inhofe tossing a snowball on the Senate floor. He then segues into more pretty charts showing data from the Climate Change Institute and NOAA. | Read More »

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how Obama’s budget contained a $22 billion student loan bailout to cover a massive shortage of funds for the Department of Education Federal Student Loan program. Because the program is categorized as a “credit program”, due to a “quirk in the budget process for credit programs, the department can add the $21.8 billion to the deficit automatically, without | Read More »

Enough has been said already about the slideshow that my state has become over the resignation of the now-former governor of Oregon, John Kitzhaber, and his fiance, have become. Moe has covered it well. The Oregonian, the state’s largest newspaper (which has endorsed him every time for reelection) could be credited for correcting their mistake by calling for his resignation and keeping the focus on | Read More »

The Obama administration’s Interior Department recently released plans to allow offshore oil exploration and drilling off the eastern coast of the United States from Virginia to Florida. In the states affected- Florida, Georgia, North and South Carolina and Virginia-, there is generally wide bipartisan support. The opposition is coming from the environmental Left, Democrats in Congress, and some misinformed interest groups. However, we need to | Read More »

Back to Sun Tsu and The Art of War: Victory begins with a profound understanding of your adversary. With the Somali Islamists threatening to attack American shopping malls as they did in Nairobi last year, and the President refusing to utter the phrase “Islamic terrorism”, it is no wonder that the portion of Americans who believe that we are winning this war is down to 15%. | Read More »

Since the last time: Impeach now. Not later. Now. Not “only after American lives have been killed by ISIS”. Not “only if he refuses to secure the border.” Not “only if he takes over the world’s greatest promoter of freedom, the Internet.” Not “only if he nominates someone with even less respect for the law than former AG Holder.” Not “only after we get control | Read More »

House Speaker , ever the gentleman—and a sharp dresser—reminds the House membership of their obligations: “Members should wear appropriate attire during all sittings of the House, however brief their appearances on the floor may be. You know who you are,” Boehner said to laughter. We know this is the most important business the House will be taking up this session. “Following the basic standards of | Read More »

Progressives are good at use and abuse of language, in particular defining their agenda items in terms of the broad goals rather than actual impact of their proposals. Hence, we see and hear earnest advocates for “net neutrality” argue about how great the internet is and would be if only the wonderful ‘net neutrality’ that it is built on it is guaranteed – by a | Read More »

The Obama regime has turned the entirety of the Middle East political landscape upside down. Apparently there is nothing of substance in this country’s historical alliance with Israel, and the regime is now behaving as if our relationship with sponsors of worldwide terrorism means more to us. And it’s nothing short of surreal. Just days ago, in a Q&A with , Secretary of State affirmed | Read More »

The Obama view transcends typical bleeding heart liberal philosophy. It sees government assistance not merely as means to fulfill a need, but as a bridge to compensation for being born into victimhood.
